Welcome Home! You are Right Where You Belong!
Welcome to the Olathe New Educator Home Page! If you are landing on this site, you are most likely an educator new to the Olathe School District.
This site will host all learning opportunities created specifically for educators new to the district! It will be updated regularly. To proceed you can access the different pages on this site using the navigation buttons above or the links below.
This site includes trainings created by our Learning Services team to help you learn more about your content area curriculum and technology. You will also find the very important schedule for New Educator Orientation.
You will be eligible to receive professional development points for completion of modules on this site. These points can be used for both relicensure and salary movement.

If you have questions about earning PD points, please contact Jenna Kuder at jkuderirc@olatheschools.org
